Skip the flying trains and super Bond stunts and it would be brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2012)

What I really like about this movie is the plot. At first you are always wondering, having doubts and speculations about whats really going on. Later on you are given clues and you start to put all the puzzle pieces together. After that the chase begins with good special effects, stunts and explosions.
The problem though is that sometimes it's too much. Like in the scene were Lincoln steals the flying bike and is suddenly an expert on it and is able to beat the specially trained men in the chase. In my opinion it would be better if he would steal an ordinary bike and loose them that way, he would know how because of memories from the real Lincoln. If that had happened, the scene were they fell 50 stories and somehow survived wouldn't have happened at all. Also what I consider a small flaw is all the technology in such a near future, like the flying trains. It would have been better if it was 2029 but not 2019 and if they would skip some of the unnecessary futuristic mechanics which are unrealistic.
Besides that the movie was great. The sets, the storyline, the music, the shots were all amazing. Ewan's acting was great and the acting overall was good.
Over all a great movie. It's sad to see all the negative reviews. I think some of them are just because The Island is a Michael Bay film and they tend to get negative reviews just because they are Michael Bay films.
